Preferential Accumulation of (14)C-N-Glycolylneuraminic Acid over (14)C-N-Acetylneuraminic Acid in the Rat Brain after Tail Vein Injection

The two main molecular species of sialic acid existing in nature are N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc). Neu5Ac is abundant in mammalian brains and plays crucial roles in many neural functions. In contrast, Neu5Gc is present only at a trace level in vertebrate br...
